Stand Firm Against the Privacy-Violating National ID Card
Target: Governors of ME, MT, NH, OK and SC
Sponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
Sponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
The federal effort to create a national identity card would take us one step closer to a surveillance society, erode our right to privacy, and put our personal information at risk!
Real ID would force all states to connect their DMV databases to one single interlinked system -- facilitating government tracking of ordinary Americans. It would also expose our most sensitive personal information to criminal identity theft.
Governors in five states courageously rejected this invasive law and the dramatic tax increases required to pay its massive price tag last year. If these states stand their ground, Congress will be forced to repeal this horrible program! Thank the Governors who’ve stood up against the national ID card AND ASK THEM TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

"The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by horse drawn carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city can prohibit or permit at will, but a common Right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." [Emphasis added] Thompson vs. Smith, 154 SE 579.

I highly doubt this is for security reasons , is just another way of control and we will not accept it , as it violates our constitutional right of freedom.

The Bush administration has shown time and again that the privacy concerns of American citizens do not matter to them. I appreciate everyone who stands firm on not letting this administration do more damage to my right to privacy!

I believe states should have some autonomy from the federal government--and frankly, the Real ID cards seem too Big Brother for me. Mandating a new nationwide ID card system would be a waste of taxpayers' money. Holes in the system, creating fake IDs, and identity fraud on this level are risks that out weight any likely benefits. I would like to see our tax money be spent, not on trying to hunt out illegal immigrants (the real target of this ID program), but instead to try and incorporate them into the United States through a "path to citizenship" policy. Let's deal with the realities, the problems as they exist now and not shovel tax money into another unnecessary bandaid that won't really fix the true issue at hand. Onward, Melissa Sweat

Please stop the national ID card now. It is unconstitutional and downright scary.

This has pros and cons and needs MUCH more consideration before passing.
